I've never experienced problems with 18' tires, but now that I'm considering going 19' (cos they only cost $200 more than the 18'), I have been told that 19' are extremely hard to handle. I have to pay A LOT more care to the way i drive...dealing with pothole to unable to carry passengers in the back seat due to possible rubbing of the rear tires and the list goes on and on...IS IT REALLY THAT MUCH WORSE? Love to hear everyone's input on this, and like i said, I promise this will be my last question on this subject :) feel free to email me at hansolo519_99@yahoo.com. Thanks all.<p>ifs-01.iverson.com
CLKen..what more do you need people to tell you that 19 in. "IS JUST FOR SHOW" you can not have it..
<br> both way, specially 19 in. Unless, you are are going to use 50 series tires. But now then your tire would look like a truck tires(because it add the hieght to the car). You have to understand that the rought ride is not because of the 19 in. but because of the tires series. 19 in. most people use 35 series and that's hardly any air in it. If ride it importance to you...DO NOT go with 19 in.<p>czavala.qualcomm.com
I've got 19s on my CLK and although it is a little harsher than 18s, it's not that bad. Just be a little more careful when going over potholes.<br> <br> <img src='http://www.technikonline.com/CLK55/side2.jpg'><p>ion-wc1-ria.sprinthome.com
I've been driving with them for about a year now...
My car is lowered with H&R's, stock shocks. I live in NYC and the roads are really bad but I haven't had any problems with them. If you have proper offset wheels, you shouldn't have a problem with rubbing. I'm about 200 lbs. and have had the car filled up to as much as 5 people, 1 sitting on the hard plastic part of the back seat. The tire goes in automatically when the car goes lower and will not rub. Trust me. The car looks good, the ride isn't that bad, pretty good actually. :-)<p>BENZWORLD
